What do you think about using dialog or whiptail to make menus during install.sh ?

This would make it more interactive for users to complete the installation.

Have you considered using this?

If we are looking at modern TUI, I would recommand using https://github.com/charmbracelet/gum.

We ain't use gum for deps and usability/stability reasons also we are in the midst of migrating from shell/bash to pytho!n using our own little suite so no need for gum.

I'll suggest fzf cause it's widely used. Also usually used for most other TUI. HyDE-CLI uses that as dependency and no one seems to be against it. Some neovim extensions use it too.

But for newer installation script, we will try to use python as much as possible. I think we can use the lib used by archinstall to create a dialog, checkbox etc.
